Issue

Your stand-alone Autodesk product licenses have become corrupted and you want to know how they can be reset.

Solution

Use the following steps to reset the stand-alone licenses for all Autodesk products (version 2010 or higher):1. Make sure there is no Autodesk product currently running. If there is, close the application.2. Rename the adskflex_00691b00_tsf.data file to adskflex_00691b00_tsf.data.old. This file can be found at the following locations:

Windows XPC:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataFLEXnet

Vista/Windows 7C:ProgramDataFLEXnet

3. Restart your Autodesk product and go through the activation procedure again.Note: This file contains all product activations forall 2010 and higher Autodesk products installed on your system. You will need to re-register these products if this file is renamed/deleted.

A couple of problems arise with this combination of products.Problem 1: Autodesk Sync from the Beta Product cannot be uninstalledProblem 2: You will receive a warning message that the Autodesk Sync component cannot be uninstalled during the installation process of the officially released product. You will need to dismiss this dialog and proceed with the installation.Problem 3: After the installation of the release product is completed, you will find two entries of the Autodesk Sync component listed in Add/Remove Programs. If you decide to do nothing about this problem, the Beta Product and the release product will continue to work as expected. However, if you decide to remove the two entries of the Autodesk Sync component, you will need to follow the instructions described in the Solution section. It is not recommended that you uninstall either of the duplicate entries of the Autodesk Sync component, as this action may break the sync functionality.

Solution

To replace the two entries of Autodesk Sync by the appropriate single entry of the Autodesk Sync component, follow these instructions:

Download and run preInstall.exe

Uninstall the two Autodesk Sync entries in Add/Remove Programs

Install Autodesk Sync using the standalone installer that comes with the software
